A Deceptive Composition

Lady Darby Mysteries, Book 12

De: Anna Lee Huber

Narrado por: Heather Wilds

Lady Kiera Darby and her dashing husband, Sebastian Gage, hope they've finally found peace after a tumultuous summer, but long-buried family secrets soon threaten to unravel their lives....

October 1832. Kiera is enjoying the slower pace of the English countryside. She, Sebastian, and their infant daughter have accompanied her father-in-law, Lord Gage, home so that he can recuperate from the injuries he sustained in a foiled attempt on his life. But as the chill of autumn sweeps across the land, they receive a summons from an unexpected quarter. Lord Gage's estranged uncle—a member of the notorious Roscarrock family—has been murdered, and his family is desperate for answers. Despite Lord Gage's protests, Kiera and Sebastian press on to Cornwall to assist.

It isn't long before they discover that almost nothing is as it seems among the Roscarrocks, and they've been lured to their isolated cove under false pretenses. There are whispers of a lost treasure and frightening allusions to a series of murders stretching back decades that touch the lives of the family personally. Kiera and Sebastian are left with no choice but to uncover the truth before the secrets of the past threaten to destroy them all.

Amazing!

An excellent read! I couldn’t put it down. This is a great series with interesting characters and well thought out plots. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Trust and love

I so enjoyed the love and closeness of the two of them. The excitement of each mystery they solved. the idea that they kept their family close never leaving their child behind. they determination for them to bring the father-in-law into the fold of love and family. I truly enjoy all of her books looking forward to the next.

The action and family dynamics

I cannot believe that this is the 12th lady Darby mystery that I have read. I really think it’s the best one today Ms. Huber just keeps getting better and better.

Great historical detail!

Excellent plot and plot twists! I really enjoyed all the historical minutiae that helps create such a rich background.

Lord Gage becomes human!

I really enjoyed learning about Lord Gage and the journey to humanize him. As always, the narrator is my favorite and is the reason I choose the audio book over the ebook.
